Re: I-Spy Citroen H Vans (aka HY/TUBE etc)
I've had my that one in my saved dashcam footage since last month, the only reason I posted it today was this thread popped to the top of the new post listing!

Re: I-Spy Citroen H Vans (aka HY/TUBE etc)
Another spot from Sunday. Travel the A68 through Lauder in the Borders and you will most likely see this parked outside the Flat Cat.
I like the Estafette, looks a bit more "manageable" than a CitroenH, less bulky, and dare I say it, much prettier (if a van can be pretty!)

This is Angel's van, a snippet from the Escape to the Chateau series 4 on Channel 4.
Unloading it from a transporter it ran away.

I am going to intrigue myself with whether the Castle in the background is a real location and where it is, but quite happy if someone jumps in and tells me

It is close by London Eye and next to the Westminster Bridge as seen in the pic.

Don't think food trucks count - unless they are on the move - 'cos they're everywhere; there's even one, more or less, permanently parked outside Lewisham station (a sure sign gentrification has arrived in Sarf Ees' Lunnu')

Have you literally been to Savonlinna in Finland and spotted that van? The Castle there has its TinTin links so quite appropriate

They are pretty common now, but always good to come across an unexpected H Van just by pure chance.

I believe they're now very freely available to the catering trade and even in the form of inflatables!!!

Re: I-Spy Citroen H Vans (aka HY/TUBE etc)
It was a nice specimen, especially as it was used for hauling a load of old DS & 2CV bits around.
There was a similar one for sale by a trader in the 'jumble at Malmedy a couple of weeks ago - for €10,000; obviously the Belgians don't realise how much these things fetch over here.

Re: I-Spy Citroen H Vans (aka HY/TUBE etc)
While I fear that largely true, most of those were imported for the purpose, as, so far, their enthusiasts seem to have resisted the temptation tomake huge sums of money.
